as posted by the channel

The U.S. economy — by many measures — is doing great. But the majority of voters still feel the economy is bad. And as one of the biggest issues of the 2024 election, it could be hurting President Joe Biden’s re-election in his race against Donald Trump. So why is the consumer sentiment index so low despite a growing GDP and a healthy unemployment rate? And how are Americans feeling about their long-term financial security amidst wide-ranging social and political threats?

WSJ explores what the data says about why voters are feeling so bad about the economy.
